Birthday Garden Seats
Happy Birthday!
Lucky Daughter of Moosey! For her birthday in the year she was 'given' some old cane garden furniture - two seats and a little table. They went with her Birthday Rose Garden (2005-2008) and her Birthday Garden Mural (2009)...
Garden-Themed Presents
Garden-themed presents. Hmm... Surely this was not just another lame excuse for the Head Gardener to buy something else for the garden - under the guise of being a birthday present? Oops...
However, I'm sure that Daughter of Moosey (who then lived overseas) liked her birthday presents to be locally sourced. And I'd always wanted to put some garden furniture in here on the calm, secluded lawn. I could sit and enjoy her roses while making warm mental connections. Hee hee...
Cat Consumer Tested...
The new wicker armchairs were cat-consumer tested by big Fluff-Fluff. The seat curve which so accommodated the human bottom also fitted the body of a large cat rather nicely, thank you!
Birthday Garden Furniture
I planned to paint them a ridiculous shade of plummy purple. But I didn't. And then, in 2014, due to the ravages of wet weather upon ancient cane furniture, the Birthday Garden seats had to be - ahem - deposited on the bonfire. The small lawn has been empty ever since, expectantly waiting for replacements.
